Anime are not mindless cartoons with big sparkly-eyed characters. They are the flashy animated form of our everyday life in various settings which becomes so relatable sometimes, we forget the reality. As otakus and weebs, quotes uttered by our favourite characters are an important part we absolutely simp about.

One of the major power of anime lies in the quotes. So, here we come with 50+ best top anime quotes of all time that relate the most to our daily lives!

There’s Nothing Special About Being Born. Not A Thing. Most Of The Universe Is Just Death, Nothing More. In This Universe Of Ours, The Birth Of A New Life On Some Corner Of Our Planet Is Nothing But A Tiny, Insignificant Flash. Death Is A Normal Thing. So Why Live?

John Liebert, Monster

IF you think about it, birth is just one of the simplest reactions in this vast Universe.

Trust someone with a centimeter of disbelief.

Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost In The shell

After reading the quote i just realized, humans are born racist.

“Everyone is a slave to their past. No matter how much you wish to move forward, the events of last year will bear down on you like the light of the stars as soon as you glance up. Unable to laugh or to banish your past, you carry it ceaselessly in a corner of your heart, waiting for it to resurrect at an inopportune moment.”

Hikigaya Hachiman, Oregairu

Hikigaya has all the love-life advices for you. We all have our emotional baggages, just looking for a fraction of second to decide whether or not to call your ex or slit your wrist.

“I’m not stupid. I’m just too lazy to show how smart I am.”

Oreki Houtarou, Hyouka

Even though not all of us are Oreki, still we laze around and pretend tp be smart eh? If you dozed off in class, reply this to your teacher and put the blame on this boy! haha.

“Moving on doesn’t mean you forget about things. It just means you have to accept what’s happened and continue living.”

Many of us get jealous of people who can cope up with the situation just like that. Don’t think they are robots. They have just followed Erza’s words and became stronger.

“Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because… No matter how pathetic the reason, it’s enough to start a war. War will never cease to exist… reasons can be thought up after the fact… Human nature pursues strife

Pain, Naruto Shippuden

The urge to rebel and to show our true emotions lies within everyone. Pain is the root cause of all differences. And that difference results in conflict, following with war. Pain is great!

“There are still times when our different ways of thinking make me hesitate but I feel like there are ways we can balance each other because we’re different.”

Natsume Takashi, Natsume Yuujinchou

What makes us humans is the right to state our opinions and emotions. These invisible treasures are fragile and when acknowledged well, gives us strength to live.

“Backup plans are the cornerstone of confidence.”

Koro Sensei, Assasination Classroom

We all come up with our bratty plans- either following the herd of men or straying away. But remember Koro sensei’s word, always come up with a backup plan or meet despair.

“I don’t know which option you should choose. I could never advise you on that… No matter what kind of wisdom dictates you the option you pick, no one will be able to tell if it’s right or wrong until you arrive to some sort of outcome from your choice.”

The truest quote of all time. No one knows the future. Just put your hand on your heart and sing ” Shinzo sasageyo“!

Itadori’s Grandpa, Jujutsu Kaisen

Keep working. Meet new people. They will be your reason for a happy death.

It’s not a miracle. Maybe its one out of hundred, or even one out of a thousand, but its the one you went to reach and managed to grab. By grabbing and connecting these rare moments,youre able to keep climbing higher and higher.

Fuki Hibarida, Haikyuu!

My favourite Haikyuu! quote so far. If you think about it, its just a problem sum of probabilty. Sorry, for ruining it though.

“In this world, even the most scientific of things started from someone having this gut feeling it exists. Then someone proved it after the fact.So compared to you, I know absolutely nothing about her…But I intend to spend my entire life proving my love. I didn’t marry her because I proved my love. I married her to prove my love”

Nasa, Tonikaku Kawaii

Nasa-kun is our ideal sane husbando. We love him. If you really ever fell in love, you will get what he is talking about. Or else pretend like me.

“The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. It’s not what they do in life but what they did before dying that proves their worth.”

“There’s always a little truth in every ‘just kidding.'”

Kano Shuuya, Mekakucity Actors

This is a scenario we all faced once atleast. Either you were the sender or the reciever.

Listen up! We were born with special powers that other people don’t have, but we mustn’t let it get to our heads and think we’re special. People who are fast, people who sing well, people who are book smart, people who are good at talking, and people who can use psychic powers… You can’t put one over the other. Being confident about your powers is fine, but you mustn’t get conceited. Depending on how we use our powers, they can also be deadly weapons. They’re just like knives. What are you not supposed to do with knives?

Reigen Arataka, Mob Psycho 100

Just gonna leave it here. Sink your heart in it. Help others with your power to absorb what you just read.

No matter how much you regret or wish, if you couldn’t do something in life, you can’t do it after death either.

“Honestly, there isn’t much meaning to the splendid names given to you by your parents. What does have meaning, is what the person behind that name does during their actual lifetime. The name doesn’t make the person. The name simply remains gently within the footprint left on the path a person walks.”

Koro Sensei, Assasination Classroom

Do everything at your disposal to become the person you are named with. Just like Naruto did. By the way, after this quote I’m sure everybody will get a dictionary to find what their names mean.

“The sun rises today and sets again. A flower that bloomed in the morning, falls from its stem. The sun sets today and rises again. Flowers bloom to fill the land, but not the flowers of yesterday.”

Ginko, Mushishi

Time is such a ruthless component. The force of life is nothing compared to time’s capacity.

“Those who regretted their own actions. I would never trample over them. Because demons were once human, too. Just like me, they were human, too.”

The secret to have a better afterlife even after death, is to have people like Tanjiro in our lives. So kind and simple minded.

“However many wishes we grant, people will always fear, loathe and forget gods of calamity. For better or worse, people’s emotions are always fickle. That is the way of things.”

Rei Kiriyama, March Comes In Like A Lion

So, there is no one actually be called pro I guess. The so called pro also loses to someone or the other.

“No single thing is perfect by itself. That’s why we’re born to attract other things to make up for what we lack. I think we start walking in the right direction only after we start getting our counterparts besides us.”

Itachi Uchiha, Naruto Shippuden

Another wise man has spoken. And he has spoken it right. Even he didn’t get much screentime, still the wisdom he shared with others is enough to follow him. Check out some more of Itachi’s wisdom here.

“Compared to the “righteous” greed of the rulers, the criminals of the world seem much more honorable. When scum rules the world, only more scum is born.”

Eustass “Captain” Kid, One Piece

The best quote born from our real world politics. Bwahahaha!

“Going against the flow… takes a lot of courage. I respect that. Maybe people who can do it are just stupid, but… Well… What I’m sure of is that people like that are rare.”

Annie Leonhart, Attack On Titan

Still, not all rebels are correct though. There are rares within rares.

“People derive their happiness in a variety of ways, even though it might seem cruel.”

Adashino, Mushishi

You mean the cultured stuff too? oh yes! Sadism. Masochism. Bdsm. etc.

“These days, there are angry ghosts all around us. Dead from wars, sickness, starvation, and nobody cares. So – you say you’re under a curse. So what, so’s the whole damn world.”

Shiota Nagisa, Assasination Classroom

Exams. Confessions. Social interactions. Hehe.

“Even if life is painful and tough, people should still appreciate what it means to be alive at all”

Yato,Noragami

Such an irony huh. People who made this quote are Japanese, yet Japan is a suicidal country. I wonder how many of them really wanted to be shinkis but read the kanji wrong.

“Everything you say and do…it all sparkles so brightly. It’s too blinding for me, and I end up closing my eyes. But I can’t help aspiring to be like you.”

We all look up to that one person we wanna become but our inferior complex gets in the way.

“Everybody loves somebody. In time, everybody falls in love with somebody. Just as I found you.”

Dera Mochimazzui, Tamako Market

Love is in the air!

“Shinichi, upon researching the concept of demons, I believe that, among all life, humans are the closest thing to it. Although humans kill and eat a wide variety of life forms, my kind eat merely one or two kinds at most. We are quite frugal in comparison.”

– Migi, Parasyte maxim

Migi’s truth just makes your skin crawl. But we can’t cease to be who we really are eh?

“Maybe nothing in this world happens by accident. As everything happens for a reason, our destiny slowly takes form.”

Rayleigh Silvers, One Piece

This is a quote I personally believe in. You may call it an excuse, to comfort myself for something I failed to do. I don’t care; as long as I don’t lose my humanity.

“There is nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway.”

Shouta Aizawa, My Hero Academia

Aizawa sensei is scary. Make sure to follow what he says and work hard ok?

“Love is hating someone but you still want to be with them.”

Taichi Mashima, Chihayafuru

You will definitely relate to it if you are happily married. The urge to let go but with a chain around the waist.

If you could see everything but couldn’t change any of it, or if you could live in freedom in darkness… Which do you think is more fortunate? I think it might not be that bad living in the dark, remembering the light.

Amane, Mushishi

Yes. Only the bravest minds can endure this. Are you brave enough?

“Do they love you or the mask you put on everyday?”

Kano Shuuya, Mekakucity Actors

We love our social avatars. We keep polising them everyday. Why? For how long? Show your tears once in a while.

“When some things contradict each other, you should look at the opposite side of everything. And when the meanings behind the seemingly unnatural actions are made clear, a completely different answer might be reached… Justice can become evil. Reality can become an illusion. Meaning can be found in something that appears meaningless. Think. And find the answer for yourselves. A human ceases to be once he or she stops thinking.”

Merlin, Nanatsu No Taizai

Humans are the most incredible animals on Earth. The reason is the 5kg mass attached to the neck. Use it to keep your humanity.

Just like before exams. Test tomorrow? Prepare the most scoring chapter. You will be alright.

“If I can be the best in the world at something, then I think it’s worth a shot.”

Chihaya Ayase, Chihayafuru

There is no limit to learn and if you already have a skill, its enough to get started. With dedication everything is possible.

You don’t realize your body is on fire and burning up because of the things you did. You’ll understand one day. And then you’ll realize for the first time that you have many burns.”

 Claudia Hodgins, Violet Evergarden

If you already sinned, Karma will come for you. There is no escaping.

“My own favorite things are … the footsteps of a certain person heading towards the house, the sound of the piano and drums riffing in the basement … and the laughter of two boys.”

 Ritsuko, Sakimichi No Apollon

Yes, eccentric people exists. To find happiness in mere things is the key to eternally happy and a pimple free skin.

“I thought I could just apologize tomorrow. But that tomorrow… never came.”

Jinta, Anohana

Don’t wait for your friend to say it. You don’t know what he’she is going through. They say its better late than never. But what if its already late?

“I can stand not eating or sleeping, but I absolutely would not be able to live without my computer.”

Kisaragi Shintaro, Mekakucity actors

Typical “hikikomori” weebs. Peace out.
